The UWindsor Department of Athletics has launched a new Lancer Loyalty program in the form of an interactive app.

Through the app, fans accumulate points by attending different varsity events, fitness classes, participating in intramurals, and checking in on social media.

The more fans attend, the faster they accrue points. Once users reach certain point levels, they can receive unique prizes and experiences for being great fans.

Users of the app will also receive push notifications on their mobile phone, just like a text message would, to remind them of upcoming events and promotions happening in and around the St. Denis Centre, and will also be eligible for in-game prizing when they check-in on social media.

The app can be downloaded directly from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Users just have to search for “Lancer Loyalty or Windsor Lancers” and scroll down until they see the Lancer Shield. The Lancer Loyalty program is open to all fans of the Windsor Lancers including students, faculty/staff, community members, and parents.

“The Lancer Loyalty program has allowed us to expand our rewards program significantly and is allowing us to connect with our fan base in a new way,” said Elisa Mitton, Sports Information Coordinator.
